One of my biggest criticisms of the previous line from Taylormade was the look of the iron. Anybody that shared my issues need not worry anymore. The Taylormade R9 irons are remarkably different and quite striking. The black insert on the back is simple and clean and not filled with graphics. We have seen others mention that it looks “cheap”, I can assure you that in person they do not seem to look that way at all. They have a clean and traditional look and shape and the last thing that stands out immediately is the shaft. Taylormade has added the hugely popular KBS shafts to the R9 set. After about 10 minutes of staring at the new box of clubs, we were ready to get to some serious testing.

In the past, I have declined offers to doTaylormade R9 irons because I am so partial to my current irons. I spent six months testing and demoing irons before I picked them out and I have been very happy with the feel and performance. Every time I go out, I am confident that any problems with my ball flight are the result of my swing and not my equipment.

With regard to Taylormade R9 irons specifically, in the past, I haven't really been drawn to TaylorMade's offerings. That's not a knock on TaylorMade or their equipment; their clubs just never seemed suit me when I demo'd them.

However, that all started to change earlier this year when I demo'd the R9 driver. JB asked me to hit a demo day and try the R9 just to see what I thought. I was extremely impressed. More recently, I read JB's review of the Taylormade R9 irons and JB's feelings about previous TM irons was the same as mine. The fact that he liked the new R9s was more than enough to pique my interest. Additionally, the R9s seemed to have the exact characteristics that I like in an iron - medium sole, medium topline, and medium offset. And it didn't hurt that the R9s struck me as the best looking game improvement irons that TaylorMade has released in years. So, when the opportunity to test the R9 irons over an extended period, I jumped at it.
